Dumpsters and Doors
The “to do” list tonight was to find out about getting a dumpster to haul away all of the lathe and plaster, and find out where to buy our doors. Tasks completed.
Here’s what I learned:
The dumpster will be pricey:
- there’s the delivery fee ($30.90 )
- the daily rental fee ($3.30-5.50)
- the hauling fee ($94.34)
- and the disposal fee ($86.95/ton).
Then we need a permit from the city of Seattle since it will be on a city street. ($135 +).
The good news is that we can get one delivered on Friday if we have a permit number to them by 3:00 on Thursday.
The fun part is that once the lathe and plaster are out of here, we can work on framing and replace our front and back doors and install the French doors of the living room! We’re going to look at doors this weekend at The Door Store- I am very excited.
Also, my sister, Mary K, got me the mechanical twist doorbell that I wanted from Rejuve. That will go in after the new door is installed. Thanks, Mary K!

We have a twist doorbell too and I love it but no one ever seems to notice it - everyone knocks instead.

That is a lot, is that specifically for plaster and lathe? My neighbour got rid of about 10 tonnes of concrete, and it cost him just over 300 bucks. Simpson makes some nice doors, they have an arts and crafts series. I’m surprised you’re not going with salvaged doors.

We’ve been looking at salvaged doors for the last year, but haven’t found any that would work. The French doors have to be fairly narrow. We’d love to find great salvaged ones, but haven’t had any luck. So this time we’re just sticking with the style of the house and getting new ones. If they were interior, we could wait a bit longer, but we need to frame in the exterior ones and get them installed quickly. Oh well. The good salvaged ones will hopefully go to another good home!
